Love...
Jesus said, "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:34-35) Love one another. It sounds simple, but unfortunately, many of us have complicated it. We do so by adding one extra word to the end of Jesus' commandment. Most of us have added the word "except". Love one another except..... and that is where all the trouble begins.
Unfortunately, we don't even realize we are doing this. We are so much better at judging and excluding people who are different from us, then we are at embracing and loving them. I wonder why that is?
This week try to spend some time reflecting on who you have not been willing to love, and then ask God to help you love them. Ask God to transform you into one of His disciples of love.
